Afan today (Go Pro link)

Rode Afan today with the wife a nice pootle round on the singlespeeds. Someone's been busy with the chainsaw! A lot of landscape changes since the last time I was there. And to the guy 8:50 in, I do hope you moved your bike before you had someone off!

Nice vid. Afan is my local so its interesting seeing someone else ride it. You certainly took an interesting line through the boulders at Darkside but I guess that was forced on you by the stalled riders. Never tried rolling off the first one anyway.
Looks like it was a wet one. So many of my Afan vids have been spoiled by mud splatts on the cam. Cheers for posting I enjoyed it.

Looking forward to a planned Afan weekend next spring. Never done any of the south Wales centres.... Hopefully we'll not come across any idiots leaving their bikes in the middle of a trail on a blind corner (or people riding around with daft bars )

(We were there Saturday too)
jesus ! do you speed those up, or what ? (think I need to get a bit lot fitter - I'm literally half your pace on the pedally bits like that slightly uphill boardwalk. No bloody way could I do the climbs on a SS either )

I said to my mate, there were several "jumps" that were ridiculously placed (for me) at the end of flat sections or even short rises that I was just wheezing up to and then rolling over (end of that boardwalky bit of the "energy" run, for example). The climbs took pretty much all I had to offer, effort-wise.

My experience with GoPro footage is that it always appears HEAPS slower on cam than it was in reality.
As I mentioned previously Afan is my local trail centre so I know it really well.
I thought the speed in that clip was fine for anybody let alone somebody on a SS. Hats off to you.
I wouldn't worry about ssjeff's comments. He seems to be a serial pest around here.
